Hello, we are very pleased to announce the release of this new update HighDesign 1.7.1! This version adds some important new features that will improve the general workflow and user experience, such as the direct input for constrained length, the much requested variable opening angle of swinging doors and many other enhancements. Some key optimizations also improve the performance with complex drawings, thanks to the work we have done to the text engine, which is mostly under the surface, yet very important, and the improved handling of groups.

DXF compatibility was also improved with the support of more object types and some fine-tuning to make the exported files more compatible with other CAD programs.

We would like to thank all the users who contributed to the testing of the betas. I would like to say that we greatly appreciate your input, suggestions and patience.

HighDesign 1.7.1 is a free update for all registered users. As usual, to update your current version, drag the HighDesign 1.7.1 folder to your applications folder (or wherever you like to keep this software), move your old symbols to the new Symbol Library folder.
